three main ring road systems linking most of these routes:

The Inner Ring Road, circumnavigating the congestion charge zone

The North Circular (A406) and South Circular (A205) covering many suburban areas

The M25 providing access to most of London, including Heathrow Airport

The congestion charge zone requires motor vehicle users in the city centre to pay a £10 fee between
07:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, introduced the Barclays Cycle
Hire scheme (popularly known as Boris Bikes) as a way of offsetting the congestion charge. Users can
hire public bikes for a small fee from one of various locations around London.
